Haney Vs. Paro Welterweight Unification Fight Set
WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney and IBF titleholder Liam Paro will fight in a world championship unification fight on December 19 at Chase Center in San Francisco.
It’s three-division world champion Haney’s (33-0, 15 KOs) first fight since November, last year, when he dropped and outpointed Brian Norman Jr. to win the WBO belt.
The Paro fight marks his return to Northern California, having fought in the same venue when he defeated Regis Prograis in December 2023 to win the WBC title at super lightweight.
Paro (28-1, 16 KOs), a two-division champion, won the IBF welterweight world title on June 24, handing Lewis Crocker the first defeat of his career in Brisbane.
Paro’s previous fights include a June 2024 win over Subriel Matias before a loss by split decision to Richardson Hitchins later that year.
Former WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. also fights on the December 19 card, facing two-time world title challenger Abel Ramos in a 10-round bout.
